WIRE BASKET AND FLOOR BOXES INSTALLED AT PRESTIGIOUS LONDON OFFICE REFURBISHMENT

Marshall-Tufflex’s Fast-Coupling Wire Basket ensured a quick

installation at a prestigious South London office redevelopment.

The multi-million pound Edinburgh House Project, located in

Kennington’s conservation area, has seen the complete

refurbishment of a 1960’s office block into a spacious, contemporary

workspace complete with a south-facing central atrium, café,

seating areas and a conference suite.

Thousands of metres of Marshall-Tufflex 65mm Fast-Coupling Wire

Basket have been installed at the three-storey site, along with 700

bespoke floor boxes and accessories. All wire basket and floor

boxes are exposed so needed to match the look of the high

specification interior.

Electrical contractor Andrew Aird of Sapphire Mechanical &

Electrical Services, Forest Row, said: “Our specification was for a

good value product from a market-leading manufacturer. Marshall-

Tufflex’s products fitted the bill. In particular the floor boxes were

unique as we used a grey powder coated steel option that fitted the

bespoke look on this project. Fitting went very smoothly. I was also

really pleased with the Wire Basket’s connection system, which

made it quick and easy to install.”

Made from steel, with an electro-zinc finish, the basket system is

strong but lightweight with a unique rippled design to enhance

strength. It offers easy threading of cables and increased load

capacity with resistance to flexing, as well as an excellent aesthetic

finish.

Most importantly the baskets assemble in just two steps using

integral couplers. Couplers are pre-fabricated so there is no

need to screw and bolt lengths together. This super-fast

installation improves efficiency on site and reduces labour

intensity, which was of huge value to the electrical contractors

working on the re-fit.

Supplied by BEW Electrical Distributors in Gatwick, the Fast-

Coupling Wire Basket system can be manipulated to overcome

complicated changes in direction and is corrosion and fire

resistant (class E90 compliant).

The high-quality Marshall-Tufflex floor boxes, providing power

and data to desk areas, have 3mm thick standard support plates

that tolerate high traffic levels, while the sub-frame does not

restrict wiring space and allows for fine adjustments to be made

to accommodate uneven flooring. This meant that the products

could be cleverly adapted to address any challenges.

Mr Aird added: “In a couple of areas we had a challenge with

minimal floor void space, but we were able to use the angled

plates and shallower underfloor boxes to overcome this, which

was really helpful. We would definitely use these products

again.”

Edinburgh House is due for completion this summer.
